MSU has 221yards at half. They are moving the ball but keep turning it over. The defense can play a bit better which is a good thing.

52 of those yds came on a busted QB sneak that Coney overran. Tackling has been better this week and we are getting turnovers. And making something out of those turnovers

did you watch the game last week and the dotard they had calling the game?

Put Brady Quinn in the booth for our games on Fox.

Overall can't complain with the half. Insane how involved the officiating has been so far. Would like to see us run it more in second half, and would like to see DL make more plays.

Would like to see DW get some more touches. NOthing against Josh, but DW looks quick

 

[BGIF]

I think we're the better team but we're fortunate to be up by this much. MSU playing like doodoo.

They lead in Total Offense, Time of Possession, and ... turnovers.

But the turnovers were the results of tough defensive play.

Love was in the right place, timed it and took it to the house. How often did that happen last year ... or the year before or ...

Lewerke created a ball security issue. ND defenders made it happen.


And to paraphrase Whiskeyjack, Crawford made an orgasmic play erasing 7 points that were about to go on the board.

 

[NDdomer2]

Oh for sure. Didn't mean to suggest otherwise. I was meaning to comment that I didn't see a defense that was dominating MSU on a play by play basis. I do see a defense that is playing opportunistic though. While I'd prefer #1, I'll take #2.

Yeah I think there was a period there where our DL was getting pushed around but overall I think we're making life difficult. Even sniffed out a few trick plays. Gta keep containing the big plays and scrambles.

I'd like to see less screens on O. Poor success rate right now.

 

[notredomer23]

When was the last time we forced that many turnovers in a half? I am guessing 2012 v Michigan?

I'm done.

Not since Blanton @ Purdue

Also credit for that first drive script, what a thing of beauty.

[irishff1014]

You gotta be kidding me.

No i am not. The screens are working. Throw some more slants. Then run some go routes with some flat routes. Nice easy throws.


The throw to Brown and Smyth were really good.

[NDdomer2]

Perfectly called blitz and he gets pump faked, darn it

 

[STLDomer]

Julian is nasty.

 

[irishff1014]

Good stand Defense.

 

[calvegas04]

solid stop there D

 

[Henges24]

Umm Julian Okwara. What?!? This guys a freak.

 

[NDdomer2]

Good hold, gta match

 

[Henges24]

1 big skeptical call on D with the QB sneak so far. A couple bad plays in coverage with the LBs but this D is solid right now. We have looked great overall so far and I don't say that very often.

 

[Irishman77]

No screens

 

[Henges24]

I'd like to add that this QB is terrible though.

 

[dang227]

So close

 

[greyhammer90]

Sanders is going to break one this year.
